Corporate Mentorship Program

Page Content

​The Corporate Mentorship Program provides an opportunity for employees and managers to create relationships and focus on career and professional development.

Mentoring in the workplace provides a number of key benefits to the employees involved, as well as the organization as a whole. It involves a trust relationship in which the mentor invests time and effort to enhance the mentee’s growth by sharing knowledge, experience and perspectives.

Mentoring also provides the opportunity for mentors to enhance their own leadership skills and contribute to the development of the next generation of leaders.

The Corporate Mentorship Program has two intake and launch dates throughout the year.There is an intake in June, for which you can apply to participate between March and May. The June intake matches will run from June to February.

The second intake is in September, for which you can apply to participate between June and July. The September intake matches will run from September to April.

If you are interested in requesting a partnership with an employee from a diversity group or who is a youth (i.e. under 30), please indicate your request in the “Tell us about yourself” section in the online profile.

If there is someone specific you’d like to mentor or be mentored by, please initiate the self-directed match by contacting the Program Coordinator.

Throughout the eight-month relationship, mentors and mentees require a minimum commitment of two hours per month. It is recommended that the mentor and mentee commit to a monthly session (face-to-face, phone call, video conference, Skype, etc.) and commit to preparing in advance for the mentoring session.
